Police in NYC are investigating the second set of swastikas found in the last three days

Two swastikas were discovered some time between Sunday night and Monday morning at Brighton Playground in the Brighton Beach section of Brooklyn, according to the NYPD. The Nazi symbols were written in black marker beneath a slide.

The graffiti was discovered just two days after dozens of swastikas, a Nazi eagle and the words "Hail Hitler" (sic) were found Friday morning drawn in chalk on the pavement of a Queens schoolyard.

The two incidents are being investigated by the NYPD's hate crime task force, according to police.

City Councilman Chaim Deutsch, who represents Brighton Beach, asked on Twitter Monday if the anti-Semitic scrawlings were "the new normal."

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio's office did not immediately respond to Deutsch's call for a Hate Crime Prevention Office.

In a statement over the weekend, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said the State Police Hate Crimes Task Force had been directed to assist the NYPD in its investigation of Friday's incident.

"I am appalled and disgusted by the Swastikas and other anti-Semitic symbols of hate that were scrawled in a Queens schoolyard," Cuomo said in a statement. "In New York, we have zero tolerance for such vile acts of anti-Semitism."

CNN has reached out to the governor's office for comment.

Councilwoman Karen Koslowitz, who represents the Queens district where the schoolyard was vandalized, told CNN Sunday that her office received photographs from a resident in the apartment building next to the school and immediately informed the police. According to Koslowitz, the area is a predominately Jewish neighborhood.

Koslowitz called the graffiti "exceptionally scary, and described the images as "horrible, just horrible."

Koslowitz told CNN she heard stories from her mother, who came from Poland, about anti-Semitic incidents in Europe in the last century. Koslowitz, who grew up in New York, said she never believed an act of this nature could occur in the city.

"This really just has to stop," she said. "There's no question about it being a hate crime."

There were 36 anti-Semitic crimes reported in the city as of February 17, compared with 21 for the same time last year, according to a New York Times report, which cited police reports.

"This has gotten completely out of hand," Deutsch said this weekend in a statement.
